DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis.
Government of National Unity (GNU) leaders, DA Geordin Hill-Lewis and Correctional Services Minister Pieter Groenewald, have butted heads over reports that suggested there are almost 28,000 untraceable parolees.
This after Hill-Lewis took to the social media platform X to demand that Groenewald not hide behind excuses.
“He must act today to find these parolees, bring them back before the law, and hold every official accountable who allowed them to disappear,” he said.
He made the remarks after the investigative media group, Amabhungane, reported this week that the Department of Correctional Services cannot account for 27,797 high risk parolees who have absconded.
